Bodhi Television is an all traditional Buddhist channel that is broadcast over the Internet incorporating various Buddhist Traditions that include southern and northern Buddhist systems. Ani Choying Drolma donated money to Bodhi TV to help finance the broadcast of some Buddhist teachings on National Nepal TV (NTV). Bodhi TV is the first station to focus on Buddhism and to make its teachings available through the mass media. Bodhi Television programming will include Buddhist Doctrines, Philosophy and commentary on Buddhist teachings, which is an unbroken line since the time of Lord Buddha.
The sources on which the programming will be based will include Pali Sources, Sanskrit Sources, Tibetan, Thai, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Simhala, Burmese etc. and other localized Sources and new languages in which the Dharma has flourished in the past century. Bodhi Television is a common platform for a network of individuals, Buddhist sanghas, organizations, centers, and the entire world community. We aim to help facilitate a large framework for coordination and cooperation among different traditions as well as with other centers scattered throughout the world and which we believe will be instrumental to learning across cultures and traditions. We strive to send out the message of loving-kindness, nonviolence, wisdom, and compassion that constitute the basic essence of Buddhadharma. (Excerpted from Bodhi TV’s website. www.bodhitv.com)
